Keep this operator’s manual with the equipment at all times, and periodically review the operating and safety
instructions.
SAFETY / WARNING SYMBOLS
Warning symbol used to indicate a potential hazard
to operators, service personnel or to the equipment.
It indicates a requirement to refer to the
accompanying documentation for details.
Radiation exposure symbol used on operator
console. Lights to indicate that an exposure is in
progress. This is accompanied by an audible tone
from the console.
Fluoro radiation exposure symbol used on operator
console and on optional remote fluoro control unit.
Lights to indicate that a fluoro exposure is in
progress. This is accompanied by an audible tone
from the console.
WARNING THIS X-RAY UNIT MAY BE
DANGEROUS TO PATIENT AND
OPERATOR UNLESS SAFE
EXPOSURE FACTORS AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ARE OBSERVED.
Radiation warning label on console, used in certain
jurisdictions.
Never allow unqualified personnel to operate the X-
ray generator.
WARNING: PROPER USE AND SAFE OPERATING PRACTICES WITH RESPECT TO X-RAY
GENERATORS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USERS OF SUCH GENERATORS. CPI
CANADA INC. PROVIDES INFORMATION ON ITS PRODUCTS AND ASSOCIATED
HAZARDS, BUT ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITIES FOR AFTER-SALE OPERATING AND
SAFETY PRACTICES.
CPI CANADA INC. ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY GENERATOR NOT
MAINTAINED OR SERVICED ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE AND INSTALLATION MANUAL
OR ANY GENERATOR THAT HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY WAY.
CPI CANADA INC. ALSO ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR X-RAY RADIATION
OVEREXPOSURE OF PATIENTS OR PERSONNEL RESULTING FROM POOR OPERATING
TECHNIQUES OR PROCEDURES.
WARNING: THIS X-RAY UNIT MAY BE DANGEROUS TO PATIENT AND OPERATOR UNLESS SAFE
EXPOSURE FACTORS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ARE OBSERVED.

X-ray radiation exposure may be damaging to health, with some effects being cumulative and extending over
periods of many months or even years. X-ray operators should avoid any exposure to the primary beam and
take protective measures to safeguard against scatter radiation. Scatter radiation is caused by any object in the
path of the primary beam and may be of equal or less intensity than the primary beam that exposes the film.
No practical design can incorporate complete protection for operators or service personnel who do not take
adequate safety precautions. Only authorized and properly trained service and operating personnel should
be allowed to work with this X-ray generator equipment. The appropriate personnel must be made aware of
the inherent dangers associated with the servicing of high voltage equipment and the danger of excessive
exposure to X-ray radiation during system operation.
• Wear protective clothing. Protective aprons with an equivalent of a minimum of 1/64” (0.35 mm) of lead are
recommended.
• To protect the patient against radiation, always use radiation protection accessories in addition to devices
which are fitted to the X-ray equipment.
• Keep as large a distance as possible away from the object being exposed and the X-ray tube assembly.
• This X-ray equipment may only be operated in medical rooms which meet IEC requirements.
• Never operate this X-ray equipment in areas where there is a risk of explosion. Detergents and disinfectants,
including those used on patients, may create explosive mixtures of gases. Please observe the relevant
regulations.
• The operator console, or anything electrically connected to it, must never be used within 6 ft (1.8 m) of the
patient environment.
• Only trained maintenance staff may remove the covers of the generator cabinet and the control console.
Do not connect unapproved equipment to the rear of the console: J5 is for the interconnect
cable to the generator main cabinet, J2 is a serial port for use by an external computer, and
J13 is for connection of an external hand switch and / or foot switch. INCORRECT
CONNECTIONS OR USE OF UNAPPROVED EQUIPMENT MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
CONSULT YOUR SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE IF EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT IS TO
BE CONNECTED TO THIS SYSTEM. PERIPHERAL DEVICES SHOULD BE IEC 601-1
APPROVED IF LOCATED IN THE PATIENT AREA, AND IEC 950 APPROVED IF OUTSIDE
THE PATIENT AREA.
CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED THE TUBE MAXIMUM OPERATING LIMITS SHOWN IN THE SECTION X-
RAY TUBE DATA AT THE END OF THE OPERATOR’S MANUAL. INTENDED LIFE AND
RELIABILITY WILL NOT BE OBTAINED UNLESS GENERATORS ARE OPERATED WITHIN
PUBLISHED SPECIFICATIONS.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
In accordance with the intended use, this X-ray generator complies with the European Council Directive
concerning Medical Devices. The CE marking affixed to this product signifies this. One of the harmonized
standards of this Directive defines the permitted levels of electromagnetic emission from this equipment and its
required immunity from the electromagnetic emissions of other devices.
It is not possible, however, to exclude with absolute certainty the possibility that other high frequency electronic
equipment, which is fully compliant to the EMC regulations, will not adversely affect the operation of this generator.
If the other equipment has a comparatively high level of transmission power and is in close proximity to the
generator, these EMC concerns (the risk of interference) may be more pronounced. It is therefore recommended
that the operation of equipment of this type such as mobile telephones, cordless microphones and other similar
mobile radio equipment be restricted from the vicinity of this X-ray generator.
